Wavin Tigris K1

press-fit system for metal plastic pipes

CONNECT TO BETTER

Wavin Tigris K1 is the complete press-fit system for metal

plastic (multilayer) pipes. The system can be used for

sanitary (including potable water) and heating applications.

Tigris K1 are blue press fittings with a fixed stainless steel

sleeve. The press fitting is made of PPSU (polyphenylene

sulphone) and guarantees corrosion resistance for the

entire pipe system including the connections.

The Defined Leak Function (DLF) brings extra safety where it

identifies unpressed fittings during the pressure test.

Wavin Tigris K1 offers a complete range in the dimensions

16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 and 63 mm. An extensive range of

fittings, accessories and tools completes this hot and cold

system. Wavin Tigris K1 can also be combined with the Tigris

M1 and smartFIX system.

System benefits Defined Leak Functionality (DLF)

Fitting will leak if not pressed

Reduced push-in force

Patented sculptured (hexagonal) nose reduces

push-in force significantly

Pipe retention of 2 meters

The sculptured (hexagonal) fitting nose improves

pipe retention. An unpressed fitting will retain a 2

meter length of vertical pipe with no risk of it falling

out. The installer can locate and bring the pressing

tool without needing to hold the pipe in place.

Free of encrustation, corrosion resistance

Outstanding resistance to corrosion and encrustati-

on from aggressive water supplies.

Other features

Quick, easy and safe assembly by proven press

technique

Minimised linear expansion

Visual connection check through observation

window in the sleeve

Visual check whether fitting is pressed or not

ApplicationsThe Wavin Tigris K1 system is suitable for hot and cold water

applications as well as radiator heating systems in residential,

public and industrial buildings. Because of a wide range of

fittings with clever solutions for special problems, the systems

are optimally suited not only for new buildings but also for

renovation of older systems.
